📰 News we're reading
1. Santa Fe is getting speed and noise cameras (krqe.com) — Santa Fe drivers will soon see automated speed and noise cameras rolled out across the city after the City Council approved a five-year contract with a traffic-enforcement vendor. Santa Fe police will choose camera locations using crash data, traffic surveys, and complaints, mail civil citations to vehicle owners, and clearly post signs in designated enforcement zones. 
2. What's happening with house prices in Santa Fe in 2026? (gpkmedia.com) — If you’re buying or selling in Santa Fe, median home prices for early 2026 are about $583,000, down slightly from last year but still nearly 20% higher than 2022. The story compares Santa Fe’s cooling-yet-elevated market with national trends to help you gauge affordability and timing.
3. Judge to weigh sweeping social media rules when Meta trial part two starts Monday (santafenewmexican.com) — A major second phase of New Mexico’s lawsuit against Meta is set to begin Monday in Santa Fe, where a judge will decide whether the company’s social media practices amount to a public nuisance and require operational changes. This follows a Santa Fe County jury’s $375 million verdict in March for violations of state consumer protection law, making the case highly significant for local residents and families of teen users.
4. Santa Fe National Cemetery resodding continues ahead of Memorial Day (kob.com) — Santa Fe National Cemetery is still in the middle of a long resodding project, and crews are racing to green up key sections before Memorial Day. Section nine has seen new sod but remains partly bare as staff balance grass growth, desert conditions, and up to a dozen daily services for veterans and their families.
5. Q&A: Santa Fe County Commission District 1 candidates (santafenewmexican.com) — Santa Fe residents in County Commission District 1 can compare candidates Justin Greene and Henry Roybal on water, affordable housing, growth south of the city, and county services. Both longtime Santa Fe-area Democrats outline how they’d manage development, infrastructure, and community programs that directly affect daily life in the city and surrounding communities.
